Grove Cafe & Market

After the recent review describing their practices we decided to give The Grove a shot after not eating here since pre-gluten free life. It was so delicious. They don't indicate on the menu that the breakfast items can have the bread swapped but they were happy to do so. I got the Croque Madam and it was amazing. I also had a matcha latte and it was one of the best I've had in Abq.

Be prepared, always a wait/line. They have a few gluten free labeled items and their sandwiches can be made gluten free. Here is what they said about gluten free options: “In addition to gluten free bread, our muffins have different baking tins, our granola is baked on different equipment, we wear gloves when bagging the granola, and our bread is toasted in a designated toaster.”

Limited clarity on gluten free items, other than a small mention of GF bread available. Food is delicious, but the staff was not helpful answering questions about gluten in items.

Menu isn’t super clear about the GF options but their GF bread was AMAZING! Cross contamination isn’t a problem for me so I didn’t ask.

They are very good at GF if it is related to a wheat intolerance, but if you have celiacs try a different place. They placed gluten items in their cases above their GF items so cross contamination is a possibility. If you don't have any allergies this place is super yummy though!

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was just ok and very high priced for small portions. They understand celiac but there is a lot of bread in the kitchen so as someone really sensitive I had few options. I didn't get sick but honestly I'd say skip this place, it's overrated.

Fantastic restaurant. Many wonderful gluten-free choices. The gluten free bread is excellent and their gluten free brownies yummy. Especially like the avocado toast on gluten free bread with a salad. Also great coffees.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really fresh food. Many gf options. Gf bread available. Knowledgeable staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything about this restaurant is outstanding. Their grove kale salad is delicious, and the gluten free bread is better than most places. They have great atmosphere inside and out, excellent staff, and everything is very clean. Definitely order a side of strawberry jam and a glass of cold brew. I'll never visit Albuquerque without stopping by The Grove.

Really good food. I had a gluten free The Pork sandwich. Staff was knowledgeable and helped me out. Recommend!

Ok with GF. Difficulty with dairy free needs. Not disability welcoming. Accessible but not helpful to diverse needs. Must wait in line to order before sitting.

Amazing sandwich on GF bread. They made sure to change gloves and place sheet down while making. Lots of options and cute place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent, quality food. GF Bread, healthy, organic, locally grown food. Added plus, they have patio seating so our Golden Retriever was able to be with us as we were on a road trip and just passing through.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Organic, local food with friendly service. GF bread offered for all sandwiches. Had the poached eggs w/ bacon which were great. Loose leaf green tea and lots of coffee options.
